The curious statement has got abroad
in Europe that Frederick Douglass has
denied his belief in the existence OF God.
In contradiction Mr.. Douglass saws, in
the American Register: 81 never 'fatly'
or otherwise told any one that did not
believe in God. No such thought is in
my heart, and no such thought has passed
my lips, and l cannot imagine how any
man can have inferred such an idea from
any word of mine. To those who know
me, this contradiction is unnecessary; but
it may be otherwise with those who do
not know me. Fret not myself because
Of the evIl-doers,' is q text that often
consoled me in the past, and consoles me
now, when 1 find myself misinterpreted
and misrepresented by those who speak
Of me in the public press and elsewhere.

in them has increased during the

look to the unthinl1ing reader like a

Of the. net profits be set apart as its
surplus fund before the declaration
of a dividend What the entire net
surplus is, the Secretary fails to in
form us through his report. He says
however that it has been increased
during the year $16,664, $50. 10, which
represent but one tenth OF the net
